Study on the Microcutting Mechanism of Pre-textured CrCoNi Medium-Entropy Alloy
摘要
This study employs finite element simulations to investigate the influence of distinct pre-textured surfaces (Line, Wave, Concave, and Convex) on the microcutting behavior of CrCoNi medium-entropy alloy. Cutting depth governs force magnitudes: doubling depth from 12 to 24 μm led to X-direction force increases over 50% while Y-direction forces dropped more than 45% across all textures. Texture geometry critically modulates performance: at 12 μm depth, the Convex texture generated X-direction force approximately 24% higher than the Line type, while Wave and Concave textures showed reductions of 12 and 17%, respectively. Elevated cutting speed significantly intensified thermal loads, increasing temperature over 75% as speed rose from 100 to 300 mm/s, with Convex texture consistently exhibiting the highest temperatures. Residual stress distribution, while predominantly surface compressive, revealed strong texture-parameter coupling: performance rankings reversed under different conditions. For instance, at 24 μm depth, the Wave texture generated peak compressive stress ~ 25% higher than Convex, contrasting the shallower depth trend. Crucially, the Convex-type induced residual stress over 60% higher than Line at 400 mm/s speed. These quantitative insights demonstrate microtexture geometry as a decisive factor for tailoring cutting mechanics and stress states in CrCoNi alloys.
